Default Turbo and Blow-Off Valve

Whats up guys. I have always wondered..
Can my '02 V6 3.8 Mustang take a turbo and then add a blow-off valve to it? I love turbos and the way they sound with the blow-off.
I kinda know that most american cars arent made for turbos but for superchargers which I dont prefer over turbos.
Why exactly can't my car take a turbo? (if it really can't)

a Blow off valve isnt just a fun accesory to a Turbocharged car. . they kinda need it, or something like it. To make sure the boost doesnt surge back into the compressor and blow out the seals.

So . . long story short. Yes. you can turbocharge your car, and yes. you can have a blow off valve.

I had one and all it did was get me into trouble. Running 20#s of bloost and letting off the pedal was the best, sounded like a truck blowing off. An M3 once made a uturn to catch up to me only to see he couldnt keep up

Im not trying to hijack the thread just had a quick question, where can I go to find a twin turbo package for my car, and would it be worth it to get nitros with the intent of geting a turbo later on down the road? Thanks

You can get nitros[sic] or Nitrous, and just sell it when you go with the turbocharger, N20 kits tend to hold their value.

TMATurbos.com is the only manufacturer of turbocharger kits for v6mustangs at the moment.
